I'll k.i.s. since it's been drawn out too long and does little good to continue.

1) The order of emails is exactly how it appears in my mailbox. Mods can check it if needed/wanted.

2) You sent your hostile email and posted your snide comments in the open before I had a chance to reply. Knowing that I and others read the open discussion, of course I found it offensive and felt a need to reply and I did. I posted my side and the information for all to see instead of hiding in private and putting up with your attitude.

3) "Figured you would have at least defended yourself in private messages to me, when I never mentioned your name or even what type of transaction I wasted your time on. You chose this and I responded." You didn't really give a chance before posting the open comments, did you? Perhaps if you would have waited for my reply in email you would have understood where I was coming from and refrained from you initial post and things could have ended amicably.

4) "I honestly dont know what folks will think if they decide to do transaction with you in the future if things dont go the way you had hoped they would." The same could be said about you brother gunner. Who's to say someone won't offer you a dream deal and you won't come crying to the world?

5) Good luck with your trade or sale. I don't know if you've had other offers or have hit a dry spell; from your post I don't see many replies even tho it's a fine rifle. Others will read this bitchfest and make better offers than I and you'll be satisfied.

Peace out dude. I'll keep cranky because it's my nature lately...am an old cur y'know.

Peoples: sorry for the anti-climactic end to the drama.
